A Free Knit Soap Saver & and a Tunisian Afghan Soap Saver Pattern
As promised! Both of these patterns are very basic. They are geared toward beginners, or advanced crafters that want a super fast project.
There are links to instructions on the afghan stitch pattern, so if you’ve never tried this technique before, here’s your chance. The knitted pattern uses only one stitch, making it a good choice for a first project. Both free patterns include pictures and open in separate windows.

You can make 2 or 3 soap savers with one ball of cotton yarn, so this is a great chance to use up any leftover stash. When completed, you can use soap shavings, slivers, or your favorite standard sized bath bar.
These projects sell very well on their own, both online and in person. They add a nice touch to any bath baskets, and are a natural match for handmade soaps.
To learn more about soap savers and how to make your own soap shavings, read my earlier post.
